Bandai’s S.H.Figuarts line has released several figures from the Super Mario video game series: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and important items from the games like pipes, blocks and coins. Its latest figures expand the collection with iconic enemy characters: a Hammer Bro, Lakitu and Spiny.

The blocks and extra hammer are not included, although the stand and prop are. The playset costs 4,320 yen (about $36) and can be ordered here.
The top turtle himself, Bowser, is also available separately, complete with different mouths, hand positions, and a fireball to reenact his ongoing feud with Mario. The villain costs 6,480 yen (about $54) and can be ordered here.
A previous S.H.Figuarts campaign sold a Goomba, Koopa, Bullet Bill and Boo; it was delivered in September.
Both Bowser and his henchmen will be delivered in April. Bandai has filmed a zoetrope animation showing off its Mario figure (plus blocks, coins, mushrooms, pipes and shells).
